And the winner is…Bryce Harper! Last month, with the free agency period winding down, I looked at the Phillies’ free agent signings from years past to see if they had brought in any impact players later in the offseason. From there, the idea of a user-judged tournament began. While I had some hope that Ricardo […]
The Flyers went to yet another shootout Monday night as they took on the Toronto Maple Leafs up in Canada, and Trevor Zegras – along with Dan Vladar’s stellar goaltending – was the hero. His continued success in the shootout is something that could be a sneaky important skill for the Flyers as they look to move forward and compete for the playoffs.
Trevor Zegras has been one of the most electric players in the shootout over his six-year NHL career – scoring highlight reel goals after high...
During Super Bowl week, former Eagle Beau Allen spoke with Ryan Fitzpatrick on the Green Light Podcast about the Eagles hiring Sean Mannion as their new OC. They were both intrigued by the hire, and Fitzpatrick provided some insight into why constantly changing coordinators has made things difficult for Philadelphia, but why an infusion of […]
It’s split squad day with one contingent of Rays traveling to take on the Twins and another contingent remaining in Port Charlotte to take on the Phillies. No TV today but the Twins radio team will cover that game and the Rays will have radio coverage of the game in Port Charlotte. We will have […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ new left-handed reliever. Hoby Milner came to the Cubs as a free agent after spending a year as a Texas Ranger, where he had a little success, as he has had during a long career, previously with the Phillies, Rays, and Brewers. His ERA and peripherals weren’t so great, […]
At the NBA trade deadline, the Sixers only subtracted from their roster. They moved Jared McCain and Eric Gordon and received no NBA player in return. Daryl Morey was asked at his post-deadline presser if he believed in his team’s depth: “We feel like we’re a deep team. Again, people might not agree, but we […]
The NHL’s trade deadline is now only three days away, and Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere has some serious decisions to make. Which players should he move? Should he make any trades at all? How would a potential trade impact morale in the locker room? There are a lot of moving parts to consider, and Briere will surely be taking countless scenarios into consideration over the next 72 hours.
Not every player on the Flyers’ roster is up for grabs, of course. Some are more l...
As the trade deadline approaches, the one Flyer whose name continues to be brought up again and again as a trade asset, is Rasmus Ristolainen.
The 31-year-old Finnish defender has once again seen his stock rise heading into deadline day, after his play in the Olympics helped Finland secure a bronze medal and showcased his ability to play a more rugged, playoff style. At the NHL level, Ristolainen has seemed to have recovered from the host of injuries that have plagued him over the p...
A few weeks ago I asked which player from the past decade would most help the Phillies and you all had some great ideas. This week, let’s back it up a little further and look at the last “Golden Era” of Phillies baseball — the 2007-2011 team that won five consecutive NL East titles, two […]
Coming off a huge shootout victory in Toronto, the Flyers have just one game remaining before the NHL’s trade deadline. They currently sit sixth in the Metropolitan Division and are just four points back of the Boston Bruins for the final wild card spot. On the surface, that feels significant. But it sounds closer than they really are, and this recent run should not make them shy away from focusing on the long-term picture.
Back in the hunt
It’s a unique trade deadline, with teams ha...

*Here’s hoping the Flyers front office is smart enough to know that being kinda close to a wild card spot and kinda playing well isn’t a good reason to not sell some pieces this week. Here’s hoping. That said, solid win over the Leafs last night in the shootout. RECAP !
*It’s not the big shiny deadline move folks are looking forward to, but the Flyers got themselves a New Guy and lucky for you we have an in-house subject matter expert to tell you all about him. [ BSH ]

After bottoming out last season with the 3rd worst record in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers have been a fun but flawed team this year, in large part due to yet another impressive leap from lead guard Tyrese Maxey as well as the promising potential of rookie shooting guard VJ Edgecombe. As for their […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 27-24-10. On the team’s performance: Good battle by our group tonight. Really good second period. We had a lot of opportunities. We didn’t capitalize on them, but I thought our game was good […]

After picking up a big win over the Bruins on Saturday, the Flyers again hit the road for a quick trip up north to face off against the Maple Leafs. Coming in to face another team also well — if still a little distantly — in the fight to remain in the hunt for a playoff spot, this wasn’t going to be an easy matchup for the Flyers, but despite the depleted lineup they had to deal with in this one, they were able to gut this one out and come away with the win in the shootout, and extend their wi...

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed Graham! No, not Brandon Graham. BG has said he’s willing to play for the Birds in 2026, however, if Howie Roseman will have him. The Eagles are instead re-signing defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham, according to an official team announcement. Graham originally signed to Philly’s practice squad during the 2025 NFL season. […]
It feels more likely than ever that the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be trading veteran defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. The stars are aligning before the March 6 trade deadline for this team to cash in on the hulking rearguard and move on while also opening up a roster spot for a younger player. A classic rebuilding move.
But, unfortunately to make a trade you also need a second team to agree to it, and the Flyers just lost one potential option that was reportedly interested in Ristola...

Keep an eye on the Buffalo Sabres before Friday's trade deadline, as they'll be buying this season. The Sabres have finally turned the corner and appear headed for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and management is going to make a couple of upgrades to try and give the team the boost they need to make some noise. One team to watch - Philadelphia Flyers, and specifically, defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen. The Sabres want to add to the right side of their blueline, and a reunion with Ristolainen appears t...
